That explains a bit, I guess.
that gets purged on installing any package, see the README

copied the man gzs from package to /usr/man and it works. As user as well as devel-su.
what README?

i tried copying some manpages in /usr/man and /usr/manX, but i get the same as before, it's like if the manpages are there but man can't read them. permissions on every manpage are rw-r--r-- (644) and i have groff-base installed, am i missing something?

it's interesting that if i do
Code:
 echo test manpage > test
and then
Code:
 man ./test
i still get an empty manpage with "Manual page $filename line ?/? (END)"
it's pretty frustrating
